I first was contacted in March of 2017 by Alpha Marketing Group LLC for an at-home business opportunity within independent merchant services.
They charged me money to set up (What I now know is bogus) a web site to attract small business owners to acquire & start merchant accounts and /or to become an independent merchant rep at home.
What I find very odd is that the same contact from Alpha Marketing Group LLC contacted me again with in a week of me paying for the bogus web site, to solicit a leads package which costed $5000 but on my credit card statement, it reads "IWDCC".
Then Effective Design Solutions called me in the same month, to set me up with an ad placement package for $3000. Totally bullshit as well. They get you on the long contract they send to you via email and you Docusign for it using electronic signiture.
Then IBC Strategies contacts me, the person calling me says he's from Effective Design Solutions claiming my file showed up on his desk becasue I wasn't making any income (really??) and that he could change that by sending pre-qualified leads to my web site for $3500.
Bottomline, I was scammed and it took me a while to realize that.
I filed formal complaints with the Arizona BBB, Arizona Attorney General, and The FTC.
Alpha Marketing Group LLC did eventually refund the $214.95 they charged me for the bullshit web site. The Arizona Attorney General referred me to the site azsos . gov / scripts / nph-TS_Search_engine.exe which shows you whether or not a telemarketing company is registered or not.
I am still currently pursuing to get my money back from Effective Design Solutions and IBC Strategies.
